\n In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls \u201cgrit.\u201d \u201cInspiration for non-geniuses everywhere\u201d (People).<\/p>\n

The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of \u201cgenius,\u201d Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance.<\/p>\n

In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she\u2019s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers\u2014from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuckworth\u2019s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better\u201d (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit\u2019s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that\u2014not talent or luck\u2014makes all the difference. This is \u201ca fascinating tour of the psychological research on success\u201d (The Wall Street Journal). <\/p>\n
